The day before the game, United announced the signing of Paul Scholes and a new contract that will provide Fletcher, who has excelled this season, with a significant salary increase.

At the same time, in order to counter the Spanish media's increasingly arrogant coveting of Manchester United's new star.

Ferguson personally announced to the media that he would discuss with Levi's agent after the Spaniard finished the next round of matches about his return to Manchester United, including a salary increase.

Levi's current salary is only in the middle of the pack at Manchester United, and they are worried that other giants will offer higher salaries to lure Levi to join.

In the original contract, Levi's termination fee was set at 70 million euros.

If he continues to maintain his current goal rate in La Liga, he will be a target for several big clubs in the eyes of the winter window.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, and Juventus are all masters who are not short of this money.

What made Ferguson even more jealous was the neighbor next door who dug up the oil guy from under the lawn, if Levi was poached by Manchester City.

Manchester United will be the biggest joke of the transfer window in this decade.

...

Oct. 5, 7 p.m.

Espanyol's team bus arrives at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Through the car window, Levi looked out the window at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team.

With a capacity of 80,000 people, the course is one of the most famous in Europe.

Fans in plain white jerseys entered the stadium through the main entrance engraved with the team's emblem, and when they saw the away bus, they looked curiously into the car window, and then raised their eyebrows and looked proud.

It is this stadium that bears witness to the illustrious history and glory of Real Madrid.

Levi followed the team out of the bus, at this time La Liga has not yet introduced a policy of mandatory fixed ticket places for the away team, and Real Madrid is very domineering and did not give the away team a ticket.

In other words, today's Bernabeu Stadium is a sea of pure white.

And they're going to have to withstand the huge away noise and the pressure from the all-time record to win as much as possible.

In the last 7 league games, Real Madrid have beaten Espanyol at home.

In the past 12 seasons, they have won 11 and drawn 1 at home, and they have lost only 1 game at home in the last 26 seasons.

The last time the Spaniards won at the Bernabeu was in 1996.

The two sides have met 148 times in history, with Real Madrid having the upper hand with 84 wins, 30 draws and 34 losses, including 58 wins, 12 draws and 4 losses at home.

"I want you to forget the past, forget the fans."

Pochettino stood in the visiting dressing room, and after setting up his tactics, he said stupidly.

He'd love to give a rousing speech to boost the team's morale, but he's just acting head coach at the moment.

Soon after head coach Tinting Marks recovers, he will be back in the assistant coach position.

Many players have also struggled with the intensity of his physical training, and there have been many complaints recently.

Several other assistant coaches were not convinced by him.

Therefore, there is a bit of a lack of confidence.

Real Madrid is not a sworn enemy like Barcelona who doesn't need to fight chicken blood and can have red eyes.

And the Espanyol's historical record against Real Madrid has not been very good, and the players are somewhat jealous of Real Madrid.

Pochettino set his eyes on Levi during the time Halque was injured.

He was provisionally elected acting captain.

Although Levi has little experience, he has already impressed the locker room with his on-field performance.

In addition, his temper has always been not external to the inside, arrogant and humble.

The day after the Catalan derby, he threw a party at his house, inviting all the single and girlfriend-friendly players in the team to party.

It's pretty good to talk in the locker room right now.

"Knock knock."

After the knock on the door, the team's staff poked their heads out from behind the door and looked warily at the beautiful female reporter with dark brown hair.

After communicating with each other, Levi walked out of the locker room, and the two sides had a short interview.

By the time he returned, the Espanyol players who were curiously lying on the door eavesdropping were already stacked in two.

"Sara Caponero?"

"Little Buddha" de la Pena touched the bald head on which he became famous and said with a smile.

"Casillas would be furious if he found out."

There was laughter in the dressing room, and everyone heard about the deeds of the Real Madrid door god who was crazy about digging people into the corner.

"Li, you're not really interested in her, are you?"

Gabi also laughed and quipped.

Levi looked at the crowd that was making a fuss.

"It's up to you to make Cassie angrier or not."

"If I lose the game, I don't have the face to compete with Cassie."

Levi said with a smile, giving everyone a meaningful look at the same time.

He didn't have that in mind.

It's all about boosting morale.

"Woohoo!"

A group of big men who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement suddenly became interested.

Pre-race mobilization is often as simple as that.

The players changed into their jerseys and boots, put on protective gear and walked out of the dressing room.

...

Players from both sides appear in the tunnel of the players.

Levi naturally struck up a conversation with Van der Vaart.

Today, Schuster put Arjen Robben and Sneijder, who started in the Champions League, into the rotation.

At the pre-match press conference, Levi faced the provocation of reporters and pretended to be in the middle of a trick and said:

"I don't think that guy Robben is as good as me on the dribble, and my teammates will be able to prevent him from doing nothing."

Journalists' eyes widened, as if they had caught a blockbuster news.

But when you think about it, it's both unexpected and reasonable.

The Dutch team infighting is not a day or two.

In fact, this is just a pre-game strategy by Levi, and Robben, who is arrogant and independent, was provoked by this.

If you play in this game, you probably won't be able to see him passing.

Surprisingly.

De la Pena, who came through Barcelona's academy, and Raul have been friends since their youth, hugging and talking cordially in the dressing room aisle.

Subsequently, Real Madrid's No.7 came to Levi under the leadership of De la Pena.

"You're the little guy who says he's going to overthrow the Bernabeu?"

Raul's face was full of smiles, and the other Real Madrid players also had playful expressions on their faces when they heard this.

Don't wait for Levi to explain.

Raul glanced at De La Pena, stretched out his fist, and hammered Levi.

"Then you'll have to ask them."

Raul pointed to the white-clad army behind him, and Casillas' expression was a little complicated.

At the end of the passage there was a loud noise, loud and loud that Levi had never felt.

Levi smiled and nodded.

...

The moment he walked out of the aisle, Levi's pupils were engulfed in a vast white expanse, and countless Real Madrid fans were holding scarves with the name of the ball and the team emblem aloft.

The well-designed high-rise grandstand at the Bernabeu, with multiple tilt angles, creates a visual impact like a mountain.

“Hala madrid！！！”

“Raul！！！”

“Higuain！！！”

...

Levi shook hands with the Real Madrid players one by one and exchanged flags with Raul.

'The game is about to start and with Espanyol captain Danny Halke out injured, Levi has put on the captain's armband. Oh my God, the captains of both teams are wearing the number 7 jersey. Will there be a pinnacle clash between No.7s today? ”

"One is the all-time leading goalscorer of Real Madrid, and the other is a young talent who is newly emerging in La Liga and maintains a terrifying efficiency, and I can't wait to see this game."

Spanish TV Canal+ commentator Andrés Montes Lang said.
